I’ll be interested to see how she will compare to Obrador’s administration. I wish her luck

[-] pe1uca@lemmy.pe1uca.dev 25 points 4 days ago

She IS AMLO's administration, there was no word from her before he said something about anything during her campaign.

AMLO had said since the beginning of his term he was going to disappear from the public to his state after today, but earlier this year he said he would come back if the circumstances demanded it, and just last month I think he said he will stay around.

I don't wish her luck, I wish México luck.

I definitely share your final sentiment. I meant that more as “if she does well so does the nation” but I recognize that’s not always the case (see: Thatcher, Reagan)

Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the last president

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 15 points 4 days ago

From what I've heard, it'll be a continuation of the same policies. Including leaving the cartels alone.

In all fairness that was probably necessary to make it to the presidency with her head still firmly attached to her body.

Yeah.

A lot of commenters have unrealistic expectations, as though anything less than burning capitalism to the ground is unacceptable.

How dare she allow the country's largest source of revenue to continue producing oil.

I would prefer a president with a doctorate in climate science than one without.

It's a good question. Her policies as mayor were very different from AMLO's, and it's frankly weird that AMLO (a fossil fuel fundamentalist and Trump-like populist) had a PhD climate scientist as his successor. But she is officially his successor and kept a lot of AMLO people. There's no easy answers, we'll just have to wait and see.
